Social position is on of the basic terms of the social psychology. It is a position in a social system, respectively in its structure. The specific position entails a specifi set of rights and duties. The social position always includes:
- Social role - expected behavior in a relation to the position (duties)
- Social status - authority, power, prestige in a relation to the position (rights)
Role and status are mutually inseperable. It is front and back of the same coin (Geist, 2000)
